The purpose of the study was to design a simulation using apersonal computer-based authoring system that could serve as a vehicle for investigating decision-making styles of educational administrators. The program was designed to be used at the...

Window functions have been greatly utilized in the synthesis of finite impulse response (FIR) filters implemented using surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. The critical parameter in any FIR design in the impulse response length, which must be...

In this thesis, the investigation of asymptotic stavility of the series DC motor with unknown load-torque and unknown armature inductance is considered. The control technique of recursive, or backstepping, design is employed. Three cases are...

Three different optical fiber phase modulators utilizing the magnetostrictive properties of the metallic glass alloy Fe74Co10B16 were constructed. By binding the optical fiber to the magnetostrictive matallic glass, the strain imparted to the...

In a transistorized push-pull amplifier, third order intermodulation distortion was effectively reduced at VHF frequencies with an output power of two watt. The non-linear distortion of the ampifier is modeled using a power series. The resulting...

This thesis presents and discusses the principles of multiple target tracking. A simulation written in Turbo Pascal provides the results of using a modified version of Munkre's algorithm for correlating targets with observations. The number and...

This report explores the subject of speech synthesis. Information given includes a brief explanation of speech production in man, an historical view of speech synthesis, and four types of electronic synthesizers in use today. Also included is a...

This thesis addresses the problem of stracting heat from sealed electronic enclosures. Typical industry practice is to use various air-to-air and air-to-liquid heat exchangers. These techniques are known to require costly custom designs. This...
